What changes the calories
- Simmering passata down into a thicker sauce removes water, so the same weight of reduced sauce carries more calories than plain passata.
- Oil, butter or cream added while cooking a passata-based sauce can add far more calories than the passata itself.
- Some jarred passatas and pasta sauces include added sugar, oil or other ingredients, so their calories can differ from plain puree.
- Portions are easy to underestimate when pouring straight from the jar, especially in large batches of sauce.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh the passata before it goes into the pan, or check the jar's net weight and divide by the portions you serve.
- Log oil, cheese, cream and other sauce ingredients as separate items so their calories aren't missed.
- In BerryFit, save your usual passata-based sauce as a recipe so each future portion logs in one step.
